The original question referenced wheelchair access. There is a school in my constituency, Lecale Trinity Grammar School, that took the jump to be an amalgamated school, but the accommodation is not 100% perfect. There are a number of disabled pupils, but they are not able to get access to some of the buildings in a timely manner because there are no ramps in place and they have to walk round the whole length of the building to get there. Is it possible for that issue to be prioritised? Those children are not able to get access to those buildings in bad weather, and it is impacting on their education. At the end of the day, a ramp needs to be put in; that is all.
